Pacing makes or breaks a story. No matter how good the story is, or how well the author rights, if the pacing is off, the story will die. Go too slow and the reader will put down the book and ne’er return. Go too fast and the reader will get frustrated, confused, and feel cheated. […]

Dear Christian…again
On the subject of hate and fear… I was watching Big Bang Theory the other day. Sheldon said something that bothered me. Quick recap: Sheldon’s mother is a Fundamental Southern Baptist from Texas. Leonard’s mother is a professional psychologist and atheist. The women meet and, let’s just say it didn’t go well. Fast forward to […]
Racism
Recently, I’ve become painfully aware of one topic that has been creeping up more and more today. Ever since Trump took office, the subject of racism seems to be everywhere.

Dear Christian, Several times, I’ve sat down to write this to you, but each time, I think “No. Just turn the other cheek and walk away,” and I do. But the emotion plagues me and ruins my day. For me, I have to write this. For me, I have to get this out. I just […]
Identity
Have you seen the new Disney movie, Moana? I loved it. It runs on replay over and over in my head. “Who am I? I’m a girl who loves my island. I’m a girl who loves the sea. It calls me. I am Moana.” Identity. That was what the movie was about. More than ever […]
One Hundred Years Ago…
It is 8:53 AM. Of the last 48 hours, 22 of them were without power. Losing power wasn’t the hard part. One hour before the power went out, my youngest daughter received a second degree burn. She was making ramen and spilled a bowl of boiling water down herself. I never moved so fast. I […]
